Download MindMap

Every Wednesday, we are sharing a mindmap of useful business tools.  You can view the map from the image, or download the actual mindmap if you like.  If you notice any tools that I have missed in the map, please leave a comment with the name of the tool and a link to it.  Many of these tools are going to be free or offer free trials, but many also do cost.  The purpose is not to provide a laundry list of freebies, but offer up some useful tools in an organized way.

If you do offer an update or addition, I will also update and re-upload the new mindmap file.

This post updated 3-16-2010 to include additional resources and an updated mindmap.

Download this MindMap for MindManagerScreenshot, Screen Capture or Screencast Software Tools.mmap

A couple years ago I was introduced to a very interesting mind mapping program called Topicscape.    The program is rather unique in that it provides a three dimensional landscape view of a mind map of information.  That was version 1 and I worked with the software up through about version 1.5x beta if memory serves.

Now Topicscape Pro Beta 2.0 is on line.  The new version has a number of new features driven by user feedback that include but are not limited to:

• An improved tag cloud
• Capability to customize the Home view position to your own taste
• Another zoom option

From a strictly mind mapping perspective one of the things that is very cool about Topicscape is that it allows you to refocus your perspective on the entire landscape by changing any given topic into the ‘central’ topic of focus.

Navigating the map itself has the look and feel of flying through a video game interface similar to something like Entropia or SecondLife (without all the crazy looking avatars).

The program also runs on a database essentially, which gives it more horsepower and potential than most mind mapping programs that are more common in this software category.  In many ways despite the look and feel this is a seriously powerful mind mapping tool for people with seriously complex sets of information or knowledge to classify, map and categorize.

If you are looking for a unique mind mapping experience, or if you are finding that more conventional mindmapping programs are not enabling you to see the real level of complexity of the information you are working with in a single glance, or restrict you too much in viewing things from a single perspective, I highly recommend you try Topicscape.  There is both a Pro and Basic version as well as an education version.  You can typically try the program with a free 30 day trial as well.

Video Reviews of the Older version of Topicscape

 

 

 

Today, I’m publishing the fourth video demonstrating how you can mindmap with your voice.  I have Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 and MindManager 8 installed on my computer and when I add this great little tool, called VoxEnable, I can mind map with my voice.

I can say something and it creates a topic, say something more and create a sub topic, say something more and move a topic around. I can say something and a boundary is put around a set of topics.

If you missed the former video entries on this topic, I will next work with the software in a more in depth way once I have had a chance to deep dive into the software.  If you have questions about the software or suggestions on something I should/could test, let me know and I’ll try to generate a video of the result.
